Here's a blast from the past - I need to get something new kitted up to stitch - stay tuned!

The Great Backyard Bird Count starts today and I can feel my competitive juices flowing! I don't compete with others, just with myself - will I see more species than last year?  Will I have a bird or two I did not have last year like the Yellow-rumped Warbler?  

I think I can pretty much count on seeing multiple Steller's Jays.

This year I'll have Red-breasted Nuthatches which I've not enumerated in past counts.

I had two birds at the feeders a couple of days ago...

...and once again I was able to entice one to eat out of my hand.

Such a smart looking little bird.

I should see a Fox Sparrow or two...

...and I'd darned well better see my Yellow-rumped Warbler.  If this birds dares to go AWOL during the count...Well it would be a humbling turn of events!
